“Minneapolis Kids School Age Care”
Welcome!
Welcome to summer with
Minneapolis Kids at
Dowling Urban Environmental.
We are looking forward to a
summer of fun!
Check-In and Check-Out
We do not accept “drop-ins”. All children must be preregistered through the Main Office. In the interest of safety, Mpls Kids will not accept legal responsibility for a child
unless an authorized person electronically signs him/her
in. An authorized adult must also sign the child out at the
end of his/her day with us. Please let us know if someone
new is picking up and remember an ID will be needed.
Swim Trips
Swim Shirts—Mpls Kids provides
shirts designed for water use that
ALL children need to wear on every
swim trip. Swim shirts are NOT to
go home. They are returned to staff
after each use, washed, and given out for the next swim
trip. Wearing these makes it easier for staff to track children in busy pools and help keep them safe.
Girls—With the swim shirts, it is a lot easier for girls to use
the bathroom/change if they wear a 2-piece swim suit underneath rather than a one piece swim suit.
Flip Flops—They are the cause of many summer injuries so
they are for water use ONLY. They need to be stored in
children’s bags on non-water days.
2
Field Trips
Permission Slips—Please return all completed forms to a
Mpls Kids staff by Monday, June 1. These need to be done
before your child may participate in the program.
Participation—All kids must accompany the group on days
they are registered. Alternative care is not available on site.
Summer School—Children in summer school will not be
able to join the group on field trips if summer school is in
session that day. Staff will be on site to meet the bus for
kids scheduled to be with us after summer school.
Departure Time—Children must be on site by 9:30 am
(unless otherwise indicated on the itinerary). This is 30
minutes prior to our departure and our group meeting
time. During this time, we talk about our destination, FT
expectations, take attendance, divide into small groups,
answer questions, apply sunscreen, and count heads.
T-Shirt—All Mpls Kids participants will be provided with a
summer t-shirt. These shirts MUST be worn on ALL NONSWIMMING field trips. These colorful shirts help us track
our group out in the general public. It makes life much easier for kids and staff to see each other!
Visitors—We welcome parents to join us. Please let us
know in advance so we can adjust our numbers with the
destination.
Lunch—Send a disposable lunch with your child. See the
following page for more info.
Spending Money—Typically we do not allow kids to bring
money on field trips and most parents appreciate this. Summer expenses add up quickly. However, there are a few
trips that make sense to honor the kids’ requests to bring
money. We generally set a limit, and note it in the itinerary.
If kids do bring money on other field trips, we do not allow
them to spend it.
What to Wear?!
Medication
 Casual clothes that can get dirty
If your child is prescribed
medication that must be
administered during Mpls
Kids hours, a physician or
dentist must provide written instructions to Mpls
Kids. There must also be
written permission from
the parent to administer
the medication.
 Shoes with backs and/or straps (no flip
flops)
Ok—Sandals with back strap, tennis shoes
Behavior
For everyone’s safety we expect children to:
 Keep hands, feet and objects to yourself
 Follow directions and respect the people in
charge
 Use appropriate language
 Respect other people and property
We follow the Minneapolis Public School’s discipline policy. Parents will be notified when
there are ongoing difficulties to help problemsolve their child’s behavior.
Sunscreen
Medication must be in the
original container, properly
labeled with the child’s
name, date, amount, and
frequency of dosage. This
procedure is also applicable
to “over the counter” medication (ie: Tylenol).
Minneapolis Kids will provide sunscreen and bug spray (permission slip
included in this packet). If you wish to send a specific type of sunscreen
or bug spray for your child to use, please do so and clearly label.
Late Policy
All children must be picked up or sent
home at closing time, which is 6:00
pm. If you will be late, please make
arrangements for someone else to
pick up your child before closing and
inform the staff.
***A late fee of $1.00 per minute will
be assessed for picking up a child
after 6:00pm. On the third incident a
$25.00 fee will be charged. After the
fifth incident, service will be terminated.

Our Pet Turtle
Dowling Minneapolis Kids has a pet
turtle named Kami. He has been with
us for 3 years. He is a very nice turtle.
The kids love to hold the turtle and he
is often out & about. If you have any
questions or
concerns
about Kami,
please let us
know.
Lunch and Snack
A highlight of the day! Kids must
bring a lunch with drink EVERY
DAY. Refrigeration is NOT available for student lunches, so include
an ice pack if needed. We provide
a healthy afternoon snack daily.
Bag Lunch—Field Trip
Field trips often require a
“disposable lunch”. What is it? It is
a lunch in which EVERYTHING is
tossed after eating, including the
bag (nothing to bring home). See
the itinerary for dates these lunches are needed.
We often continue with the field
trip after lunch and a disposable
lunch gives your child the freedom
of enjoying the rest of the trip
without having to remember
where his/her lunchbox was last
seen. Thanks!
Handy Hint: Pack the lunch in a
plastic Target/Cub bag to prevent
bag tears due to water bottle
sweating. Many brown bag lunches fall apart on the bus ride to our
destination. Please send a plastic
spoon/fork if needed too.
